If you are struggling with sadness, hopelessness, helplessness, or despair, you are not alone. Together, we will explore the environmental stressors, thought patterns, and core beliefs that may be contributing to these feelings. My goal is to help you respond to life’s challenges with greater clarity, strength, and self-advocacy.
Our first session is about creating a foundation for growth and a space for you to feel 100% comfortable. Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, and my priority is to provide a safe, supportive space where we can explore your goals, clarify expectations, and begin the work of meaningful change.
My practice is client-centered and strength-focused. You already bring valuable skills, insight, and resilience into the room. I use appropriate diagnostic tools to guide our collaboration, while honoring your cultural values, personal beliefs, and lived experience. Together, we will use tailored, evidence-based clincial practice to support your growth.
My 40 plus years experience, Masters and Doctoral level training, and teaching experience at a graduate clinical social work program allows me to offer therapy that is both deeply human and informed by evidence-based practice.
